A 20-year-old man attempted to firebomb the San Francisco mansion of Sam Altman, a tech guru behind ChatGPT, on April 10 around 4 a.m. The suspect threw an incendiary destructive device at a home, causing a fire to an exterior gate, according to San Francisco police. The suspect also made threats outside the headquarters of Open AI, Altman’s Bay Area artificial intelligence startup. No one was hurt, and an OpenAI spokesperson thanked the SFPD for their quick response. San Francisco police declined to answer whether the suspect has been charged with a crime, citing an open and active investigation. The attack comes as OpenAI has faced backlash for attempting to strike a deal with the government to use the company’s technology in classified operations.
